Rhonda saw something Friday in the pond at the farm. It was slow moving, like a fish swimming sideways to get air. Saturday I saw it and grabbed the camera. I shot about 12 pictures, not knowing how they would turn out. Several were fairly good but I couldn't decide what I thought it was. Once we got home tonight I did a search and discovered it is in fact an otter. I didn't think it was a beaver, but honestly didn't know otters were this far south. I think I'll name him Short because next time we meet he will meet the Otter God.

Looks like a musk rat...did it flip over onto it's back at any time? If not I would say this was a musk rat rather than an otter.

I with boomer, think it's a muskrat. Get rid of it. It will bore holes in the bank and levee and cause your pond to leak. SHOOT THAT THANG!

i know it is a little old, but just wanted to say that it is not a musk rat it is an otter. they are all over the south, and have been forever. they are more abundant up north, so you see more up there

I think it is a mountain goat. No, I'm gonna have to go with otter on this one. Either way it is spelled P-E-S-T.

Since I snapped the picture, we have not seen the varmit when we were down there. Whatever the title, next time I see him he's going to sink!

You can't hit 'em! When was the last time you pulled the trigger on anything? You better practice, we have a .22 shooting match coming up and you better be there! You said you wanted to come to the last one...no excuses. Don't get mad, I'm just poking fun at ya...you know it would take more than one shot for me also!
